For those of you who always wonder if I have perfect pitch, the answer is still no. But now there is a caveat: I probably will soon. The ability to name notes at will is certainly very satisfying, but it has major downsides. For example, I hoped to practice the piano over Thanksgiving, but on arrival I discovered the instrument was almost exactly one note flat. In tune with itself, but A was equal to Bb instead. Interestingly, this made it very nearly impossible for me to play anything at all. I was literally incapable of stringing notes together, both my pieces and any attempt at improvisation. Hopefully, once my transposition improves (thanks to Ms. Aaron) I should be able to compensate for this, but at the moment it’s rather a nuisance.
